Malbec + Syrah is our new Cross to Bear
When given the opportunity to acquire some opulent Malbec and Syrah grapes last year, our Winemaker, Richard Kanazawa jumped at the chance. Since then, he has been crafting a most exquisite wine for our Revered Series line-up. Named Cross to Bear, this blend is rich, moody, and highly memorable. We only have 96 cases to be shared amongst everyone, so a 2 bottle limit per customer is in place.

Introducing Blasted Church "Big Bang" red wine
As some of you Blasted Church fans might have learned, we are retiring the "Dam Flood" brand name in favour of "Big Bang" in this new vintage. A genuinely unorthodox creation of Gamay, Lemberger, Merlot and Marechal Foch that lives up to the new, and apropos name.

Giving Thanks after Midnight
A quick expression of gratitude to all of you who attended our 7th Annual Midnight Service event this weekend at the winery. We hope that you had as wonderful of a time as we did hosting you all.
Thanks to the band for such a phenomenal show! Ruthie Foster was fabulous as always. Samantha Banks on the drums was fantastic! And Tanya Richardson, on the bass guitar was just soooo cool.
Our appreciation also goes to the entire Memphis Blues crew, led by Andre Thomas, who prepared and served a mouth-watering feast of magnificent proportions. Big apologies those of you who had to face Turkey dinners the very next day!
We also wish to thank our own Blasted Church team for finding the time (right smack-dab in the middle of Harvest) to make everything perfect for the event in the cellar. Our superstar Event Coordinator, Subrina Monteith, meticulously thought and addressed every detail in order to make a wild success of the event. Thank you Subrina, ...you rock like Ruthie!
Big pats on the back are also due to our other event partners, Westminster Party Rentals and SPL Sound, and the volunteers from the Okanagan Falls United Church for gate control - you all did a great job!
For those of you who missed the shows, view the entire photo gallery online to tantalize you for next year!
Have a wonderful Fall Season!
Evelyn Campbell and the Team at Blasted Church
